György Dalos, who witnessed these events as a 13-year-old student, examines the causes, course and consequences of the 1956 Hungarian uprising against Stalinist rule and Soviet domination. He explores how the memory of this uprising has shaped Hungary's political and social self-understanding to the present day. In conversation with historian Ulrich Schmid, personal and historical perspectives are intertwined. A reception follows the lecture.
